The next Bobby Moore,and that is special.

Giving it to someone who only played 60mins makes sense , maybe Hoddle had a message from the gods .

Looked completely at home

Never going to give it to a CB against that level of opposition unless he scores. His positioning, decision making and use of the ball were all very good. No errors in what was a convincing performance. His shirt now.

UTC!

If he'd have scored, no question.

I can't honestly think of anything he did wrong.
Looked very assured.

Michael Keane is now a £40m player. But we always knew that.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:15 pm

Assured and confident all through.
First steps on a long, international career.

Well done, MK.

Quality performance. Disgrace if the usual suspects get back in.

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:20 pm

The usual suspects should be a little nervous now, especially if Keane steps up to a bigger club in the summer.

His value has surely gone up a fair bit after this week. Well done to him and well done Sean Dyche and Burnley FC for recognising his potential and helping him fulfil it.

Hoddle mentioned keane first as possible mom......but gave to defoe for the goal...a definitie sympatgy vote but thats fine..michael has impressed a lot of pundits theae 2 games...he is deffo a future England captain in the making.A great future ahead of him

Now we need to be upping his wages and getting the new contract with us signed .We have £100m coming and we want to keep out stars not look at selling them .

Exactly the same figure that I would value him at and his valuation will surely go even higher the more he plays for England..

Don't want to lose him of course but I'm expecting him to leave us at the end of the season and yes a bidding war between a a few of the top clubs could well happen.

I'm a super optimistic as the next fan, but let's keep things realistic. Keane is going in the summer, and it's been expected for a good number of months now. Last summer £15m would have got him I reckon. This summer, despite the contract, I think nearer double that.

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:42 pm

He played left side today, Stones right; played right side v Germany. Mr versatile.
It seemed today that he was the one entrusted to pass forwards when the back 2/3 had finished manoeuvring the ball amongst themselves . His distribution was v good too.
Not tested a lot defensively but did what was need nicely.
Definitively enhanced his reputation and value.

ClaretMoffitt · Post by **ClaretMoffitt** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:43 pm

If he goes for less than £25m it will be criminal

Most certainly not.

John Johnson 1605 · Post by **John Johnson 1605** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:48 pm

I keep hearing the expected fee is 20-25 million. Why then was Stones sold for double that ?
Twice the player ?

7decades · Post by **7decades** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:48 pm

If Hoddle was a Premier club manager we would get £200m for Keane, he loves him...................

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:49 pm

They reckon that £15 m was the price quoted to Leicester. Didn't Ranieri want him but the KP boys wouldn't cough up ? Our gain.

Stones' contract at Everton was probably longer.
More PL experience too.

As for twice the player how good would Keane look playing for City where Stones has had minimal protection from his midfield, no fixed CB partner and flappy mcflappyson in goal behind him?

Keane has played alongside the same defenders for nearly 2 seasons, in front of the same GK and behind a pretty solid midfield.

Keane is looking good, like Stones did at Everton where things were more stable.

If Keane had 2-3 years left on his contract we probably could command £40 million ish.

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:54 pm

If we can't get more than £20 million we may as well not sell, he'd be worth that to us for another PL season (if we stay up, of course).

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:57 pm

We don't need to sell, so we can play hardball with any possible buyers.

I don't know, I always thought stones looked like an accident waiting to happen at Everton as well.

After 15 minutes I thought of the cartoon eyes with the dollars spinning round.
His valuation and standing in the game must of gone up significantly.
Felt proud as punch watching a current Burnley player strolling around the international football pitch like he'd been there for years. Well done keano and well done the Burnley coaching staff for helping him along the way.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 8:04 pm

yep, he's progressed massively under Dyche, you can see by the quality of his distribution we are wasting some of his talents though

His passing was great today, every pass in front of the receiving player not one had to check a run.
He looked a real classy player

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 8:21 pm

The time will come when we don't have to fear losing the likes of Keane to a bigger club.

Until that time comes I'm proud to say that he was made in Burnley.

Good luck Michael with wherever your career takes you

His two 40 yard passes to the right wing were quite something. You wouldn't see Smalling doing that.

In a year he'll be the first choice England central defender

Diesel · Post by **Diesel** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 8:35 pm

He was show boating in the latter stages, he swung over a left footed 40 yard pass that only just missed it's mark.

Diesel · Post by **Diesel** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 8:37 pm

...he's right footed

HelloHiGoodbye · Post by **HelloHiGoodbye** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 8:39 pm

His passing is exemplary. Tonight showed that more than most games perhaps - he had so many options off the ball with no pressure and picked out a sumptuous pass almost every time. He's lightning fast, tall, strong... Shame he's not got three years left on a contract because it'd be close if not more than what City paid for Stones. As it is - it'll be about twenty million and that'll be a snip for whoever buys him.

The lad's going to be in the England team for the next decade and can win it all at club level. He's that good.

Dressinggown · Post by **Dressinggown** » Sun Mar 26, 2017 8:41 pm

Positioning, reading of the game, calmness on the ball, distribution, strength, ability in the air, goalscorer........etc.

We have a top player on our hands.

Why? Have we instructed him not to pass the ball??? I'm SURE I have seen him pass it. He's a centre half, and we play him in that position.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but could you explain why you mean about us wasting some of his talents?
